I came with my H to register and vote and while there isn’t a huge line, almost everyone here is registering and voting. Lots of young people.

There is no way I am reading this 18 page thread, but I am just here holding my breath that Campa-Najjar wins the 50th district. It isn't my district, but him winning would restore a hint of faith in humanity. Just added this to my races to watch dashboard.

We had one about Bingo places being allowed to advertise in places other than where the Bingo is held. Seemed pretty random to me. I'm LOLing at the Petty Betty that gathered enough signatures to get that pit on the ballot. She was quite verklempt about the fire station advertising Bingo at the senior center No no. Right now they are only allowed to advertise on the property where it’s held, but they want to advertise in other places. 😁😁

Oh man. I’m so sorry. I guess you have a lot of time to prepare but that is such a bummer. This happened to me when I was in third grade, but they closed suddenly. Like three days later. My poor parents. im anxiously chewing on my fingernails so I don’t eat anymore garbage. S/o I have utterly destroyed my fingernails with nervous picking and peeling so I'd take any suggestions for nail treatments. It's bad.

My husband just called to ask if he could invite a co-worker over for dinner TONIGHT. I swear, I will have to "feed the baby" in the other room all night. Is he new?!??!!! My husband knows his role on election night is to put the kids to bed and not let me see the bottom of my drink 😜

Voting complete with both kids! There was no line and it was pretty quiet but we have a ton of places and it was 1:30pm. The poll workers said it had been steady all day and there was a high school kid voting for the first time while we were there.
Also, It was at an elementary school campus and there was a line of 4th or 5th graders as we were walking out who first exclaimed over the cute baby I was wearing and then yelled thank you for voting at us. Awesome.

Bingo should be like health care, education and birth control. Bingo for everyone who wants it. Affordable, readily available Bingo. I support you, Gladys.

I’ve kept a lot of kids occupied today while their parents voted. I’ve played a lot of peek a boo and had a very in depth conversation about lightning McQueen. Thank you for this. Seriously. My kids try to scatter in all directions as soon as I’m distracted and without the people working the polls distracting them, I’m not sure I could have made it through 2 pages of bubble filling. I mean, my 2-year-old knocked over the freaking stroller, with the baby in it, as soon as I sat down 🤦♀️ (No babies were harmed thank god)

DMV Locals: Fairfax County 4pm update: 53% turnout! I moved here eight years ago, for “two years”, and never thought I’d claim it but damn I’m proud of my county.

The sun is going down and my anxiety is ramping up. I will say though, after raining all day, the clouds have passed and the most beautiful sunset is happening in my backyard. The quiet little voice in me is hoping that means something.

All 4 of us went to vote. H kept the baby happy while the big girl and I voted since he did it earlier. DD and I had on matching shirts. I asked if turnout had been good, and they said yes, very steady all day. I asked if young people had turned out, which they also said yes. Saw several kids and families. I'm in a red area, so hopefully higher than normal turnout helps us.... BTW that 's water from her water table and not pee. Unusually warm day here.
